We are being linked to try and deny LUFC from signing Josh Sargent.
Across his three seasons in the Championship, the American has scored 13, 16 and 15 goals per season with an average of 0.37, 0.77 and 0.54 goals per 90 minutes each season. Just what we need, another big strong lad to play alongside Flemming, they'd make a proper handful.
P/X Foster?![]()
He would be a good signing.I would have Borja Sainz also.
He might be worth a punt at the right price, I certainly wouldn't push the boat out for him
Looks a bit small for the Premier league he is only 6'1". There will be better value on the continent but we need someone who can hit the ground running and not in 9 months time, so a good shout
Ok here goes for you guys.
Sargent is / has been decent but at championship football I believe they payed 8million ish for him and so will be looking for a sizeable profit on that.
So my view on him football wise is his link up play is decent and he played well against us when he came on - however he wont be afforded that time and space in the elite league.
So my view is this - I believe for the money theyll want wed be better looking elsewhere for someone whos more mobile and stronger - I suppose a lot depends on Parkers set up and formation and how he wants to go back to front.
For me Id let Leeds have him and find a stronger quicker version who can worry centre backs no dis respect to him but he doesnt really excite does he.
We have to be realistic. This guy plays on the shoulders of the centre backs and angles his runs, he is a nuisance around the box. WE are Not Liverpool, so who are we going to get to come to Burnley then? Do not tell me a ?50 million 120k a week striker is coming here!!!!! We have to add to the squad up front with attainable targets, anything else is fantasy.
